+=head2 Plugin C<snmp_agent>
+
+The I<snmp_agent> plugin is an AgentX subagent that receives and handles queries
+from SNMP master agent and returns the data collected by read plugins.
+The I<snmp_agent> plugin handles requests only for OIDs specified in
+configuration file. To handle SNMP queries the plugin gets data from collectd
+and translates requested values from collectd's internal format to SNMP format.
+This plugin is a generic plugin and cannot work without configuration.
+For more details on AgentX subagent see

+There are two types of blocks that can be contained in the
+C<E<lt>PluginE<nbsp> snmp_agentE<gt>> block: B<Data> and B<Table>:
+
+=head3 The B<Data> block
+
+The B<Data> block defines a list OIDs that are to be handled. This block can
+define scalar or table OIDs. If B<Data> block is defined inside of B<Table>
+block it reperesents table OIDs.
+The following options can be set:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<Instance> I<true|false>
+
+When B<Instance> is set to B<true>, the value for requested OID is copied from
+plugin instance field of corresponding collectd value. If B<Data> block defines
+scalar data type B<Instance> has no effect and can be omitted.
+
+=item B<Plugin> I<String>
+
+Read plugin name whose collected data will be mapped to specified OIDs.
+
+=item B<Type> I<String>
+
+Collectd's type that is to be used for specified OID, e.E<nbsp>g. "if_octets"
+for example. The types are read from the B<TypesDB> (see L<collectd.conf(5)>).
+
+=item B<TypeInstance> I<String>
+
+Collectd's type-instance that is to be used for specified OID.
+
+=item B<OIDs> I<OID> [I<OID> ...]
+
+Configures the OIDs to be handled by I<snmp_agent> plugin. Values for these OIDs
+are taken from collectd data type specified by B<Plugin>, B<Type>,
+B<TypeInstance> fields of this B<Data> block. Number of the OIDs configured
+should correspond to number of values in specified B<Type>.
+For example two OIDs "IF-MIB::ifInOctets" "IF-MIB::ifOutOctets" can be mapped to
+"rx" and "tx" values of "if_octets" type.
+
+=item B<Scale> I<Value>
+
+The values taken from collectd are multiplied by I<Value>. The field is optional
+and the default is B<1.0>.
+
+=item B<Shift> I<Value>
+
+I<Value> is added to values from collectd after they have been multiplied by
+B<Scale> value. The field is optional and the default value is B<0.0>.
+
+=back
+
+=head3 The B<Table> block
+
+The B<Table> block defines a collection of B<Data> blocks that belong to one
+snmp table. In addition to multiple B<Data> blocks the following options can be
+set:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<IndexOID> I<OID>
+
+OID that is handled by the plugin and is mapped to numerical index value that is
+generated by the plugin for each table record.
+
+=item B<SizeOID> I<OID>
